Roadster - Sorry, my poor choice of words, what I meant to say was ...

"Small amount of panelling in the rear passenger corner."

Given that I had to strap that corner down, I am genuinely surprised at how well the panel bonding works.

Which reminds me of this great quote about this phase of the build.

It really does feel like each step I take now is a positive one, heading in the right direction.

Micky1Mo - Hopefully the fact the tail pipes are "shiny" will make them easier to spot.

Family Resemblance:
I spent a bit of last night looking back at yesterday's photos of the car & this one in particular.



Clearly my Frankenstein build approach means that my bulkhead is much higher than anyone else's.

Which in turn means the rear end will look much lower by comparison for that reason, regardless of how I bonded it on.

So I've trawled through the forum for some comparison photos of various Cordites/Navigators.

Plus any excuse to post a photo of Mister Towed's Spyder.
( Note: He has fitted bigger tyres and tweaked the suspension since this was taken. )



Overall, once all my wheel arches have been re-profiled, I think the car will still be "part of the family".

Cheers, Paul.
